Reborn My Name Is Kobe

Chapter 117: Windfall

When I talked with the owner of this gym in detail, I discovered that he also had some unknown memory confusion about some of the things that happened that morning. He did remember that I talked with him that morning.

We talked for a long time, but he could no longer remember what we talked about, who I met in the gym and what I did later.

I am a little helpless about this situation now, but the fact that this gym owner is in a very similar situation to me seems to be more clear that there must be some kind of problem, but what exactly is this problem?

I know but I can’t quite figure it out.

So in the end, I chose to continue working out. As for other things, I better not think about it for the time being, because even if I think about it, I probably won't get the answer I want.

I still start by stretching the joints. If I want to maintain my body's flexibility, I must continue to perform regular flexibility training, because in fact, the flexibility of the human body gradually decreases with age.

So if I can't persist in flexibility training for a long time, it will be very difficult to maintain the top level of physical flexibility I have now.

In fact, once you reach the peak of anything, it is difficult to continue to enhance it. As the saying goes, every step forward is a step forward, and the effort and price required to take this step forward are very huge. And if you don't work hard,

If you don't advance, you will retreat quickly, which is called sailing against the current.

Now my flexibility has actually reached a very top level, because Kobe's body is only eighteen years old, so the physical condition is very good, although in recent years I have actually been

There is no need to worry about a significant decline in flexibility, but I still have to maintain a good training habit, because a lot of inertia appears inadvertently. When you feel that many things are dispensable, that is

When you indulge yourself, it is also when you will fail.

There is never any shortcut to success. You need to work hard and put in your efforts. Only then can you truly experience the joy and satisfaction that success brings to you.

The real value of success lies in the process of working hard for it. This is the process that makes you stronger and more perfect. If the process of struggle is missing, you only get the result of success.

If so, then the fruits of success may not be so delicious.

I will do flexibility training for about 20 minutes first, and I am trying different training methods to strengthen the various joints of my body, because there are too many fitness equipment in this gym, so I am now

All kinds of equipment are actually being tried. After all, the actual effect cannot be known until you try it yourself.

Under what circumstances will exercise be shown to be effective?

I also consulted the fitness coach here specifically about this, but actually I also have some of my own thoughts on this, and after referring to the comprehensive opinions of the fitness coach and our Lakers trainer, I will

I can roughly draw a conclusion on what kind of fitness equipment is more effective for training which part of my muscles.

Then I will also make some choices and adjustments based on my current muscle strength status. I will not always conduct crazy training on one muscle or part of the muscles. I know that is very unreasonable, and muscles need a certain recovery period.

.

But I will still make some priority classifications based on the importance of different muscles in the competition. Relatively speaking, for those more important muscle groups, I will also focus on training them to maintain my ability to gain

A more competitive state, and of course higher intensity training, means that I need better nutritional intake to help my muscles regain strength.

Many people in the gym who specialize in the fitness industry often use a lot of auxiliary foods or drugs, such as the most basic nutritional supplements such as egg BAI powder, and some people also use some

hormones, thereby allowing their bodies to gain larger muscle mass.

Of course, I will definitely not choose these methods to make my muscles bigger, because I know that the existence of such huge muscle groups is very detrimental to my competition state.

Because in fact basketball is a sport that relies heavily on leg strength and running, and the injuries that really cause a basketball player to decline in competitive status actually come from the legs. Older basketball players will also suffer from leg injuries.

It becomes weaker year by year because you need to move all the time on the basketball court, whether it is offense or defense. If your foot movement speed cannot keep up, then your overall competitive state will decline significantly.

For this reason, it is particularly important for players, especially defenders, to maintain a relatively healthy weight, so they cannot use these hormones in pursuit of bigger muscles, because even if they can make them

You gain muscles that look powerful, but in actual combat they become a hindrance.

Look at Michael Jordan, his whole body is full of smooth muscle lines. Although he looks very thin, he is full of explosive power. This kind of muscle can provide you with the greatest help in actual combat, otherwise if you

If you only have lazy muscles that account for your body weight, you have no way to convert these muscles into strength. At the same time, you need to consume more energy to help these muscles operate. In this way, your body and your cardiopulmonary function will be affected.

It may be difficult to persist.

This is also why Iverson, Jordan and Kobe can play for such a long time without feeling tired, because their muscle types are the type of muscles that have both endurance and explosive power, while people like Shaq actually started out

When I entered the league, I had a pretty normal body shape.

However, in order to gain greater inside dominance, he later increased his weight, which also led to a rapid decline in his physical fitness. Therefore, even though his current inside dominance is stronger than when he was young, the entire game was

It may not really be more powerful than when he was young.

Of course, Shaq himself would not think so. After all, if you want to stay in shape, you need enough self-discipline, which includes a lot of persistence in diet and training, but this is obviously difficult for Shaq to do, and he even has

Frequently going to nightclubs to party in the early hours of the morning is not a good thing for his body.

And I naturally have to be more self-disciplined. After all, in my opinion, this body does not originally belong to me, and the reason why I got it is due to some coincidence, so I must cherish this body even more than

Kobe cherished it even more.

But the current situation seems a bit strange. Kobe’s soul has no way to come out of my body. He has gradually become a being that controls my subconscious. Even he himself has shown that he no longer wants to return to my body.

Gain control of this body.

Of course, this is actually good, at least it avoids further contradictions and conflicts between Kobe and I's souls because of these things. It is best to be able to live in peace with him, and the two of us can work together to make me a

It would be even better if he becomes a superstar and leads the Lakers to finally win the O'Brien Cup.

My training progress today is quite good. In fact, the process of training itself is very boring. If you can enjoy this relatively boring process, then you will be able to achieve great improvement. And to

If you want to make your own training process less boring, there are still many things you can do.

In fact, sometimes when you focus all your attention on training, you won't feel the boringness of training itself. Of course, I have another way now, which is to have a dialogue with Kobe's soul.

He told me before that I don’t need to enter a meditative state to have a conversation with him, and today I tried to have a conversation with him without entering a meditative state. When I was trying to have a conversation with Kobe in my head,

When my souls were connected, a familiar voice echoed in my brain.

"It seems you didn't lie to me. I can really establish communication with you without meditating."

"Of course I won't lie to you, and I actually can't lie to you. Besides, it won't do me any good if I lie to you. We are now considered one. Before, I still really wanted to regain my love for my body.

But now I have changed my mind, because I found that in your subconscious, I can have more powerful power, and this power is even far beyond what you and I originally imagined.

Powerful."

The tone of Kobe's soul is quite firm, as if he has really gained some kind of powerful power that we didn't know before. I'm guessing what this power is, but obviously I want to use my current imagination to think about it.

It's still a little difficult to get out.

"What kind of power makes you so excited?"

"You may not believe it, but I have acquired some kind of superpower, just like the superpowers depicted in movies."

"It's not that I don't believe you, but what you said really makes me feel a little incredible. What are these super powers you are referring to?"

"For example, I can now have a certain chance of seeing through the heart of the person you are talking to and understanding what he is really thinking at this moment."

"Oh my god, what the hell is this? Are you saying that you actually have the ability to read minds now? If that's true, did the owner of the gym I just talked to lie?"

I asked this question that I am very eager to know the answer to. I always feel a little strange about this gym owner. Although on the surface it seems that he is not lying, I am a little suspicious. In fact, he is not lying.

I don't necessarily doubt him, but I just doubt something.

"Speaking of the gym owner who just talked to you, I have to talk to you. When you talked to him, I did see some real thoughts in his heart, but the strange thing is that just when I was about to see

When it came to the most important part of his inner thoughts, it seemed like he had encountered a huge obstacle, preventing me from understanding the true thoughts in his subconscious mind."

"You mean you can not only see what they are thinking at this time, but you can even read their subconscious mind and what they are thinking about.

Is that part of the underlying thoughts hidden intentionally or unintentionally?”

I was even more surprised by this, because I know that it is useless to understand a person's thoughts just by looking at his thoughts at the time, because everyone will intentionally or unintentionally hide the most true part of their thoughts in the subconscious.

Deep down, and trying to get the most real subconscious thoughts in this period is simply a fantasy, because even we ourselves often have no way of knowing what kind of thoughts are hidden deep in our subconscious minds.

"I knew you would react like this, because when I found out that I had this ability, I was even more surprised than you showed. Of course, in fact, this ability is not so stable. If you want to truly obtain other

The ability deep in the human subconscious must also be exposed deep in our subconscious. I don’t know if there is another soul living deep in everyone’s subconscious, another soul like mine now. It’s just that my subconscious

The soul in it can communicate with the soul in your surface consciousness, but other people cannot do this."

"So when you are understanding the subconscious soul of the other party, there may also be a soul in the subconscious mind of the other party that is understanding the thoughts of the subconscious mind you control?"

"It's almost like this, but the owner of this gym is quite strange, why he said this, because although I can't see his subconscious thoughts, I can feel the darkness hidden in his subconscious.

field."

"A dark realm? Is this some kind of metaphor?"

"No, what I'm talking about is a dark realm, and this dark realm is still expanding. I don't know how long it will take before his brain is completely covered."

"Sorry, I can't understand what you mean, because I can't imagine what kind of darkness you are talking about."

"I can't describe this kind of darkness in detail. After all, it's just a feeling I have. To put it bluntly, my newly acquired ability is based more on the subconscious's perception of the subconscious.

, but I have no way to explain it all in a scientific and reasonable way."

Then I talked with Kobe’s soul about other things, and then I walked out of the gym. Time always flies very fast when I’m working out. In the afternoon, I have to go to the place where the boss of the dark restaurant invited me to attend.

three-on-three match.

Since I have already promised him, I naturally have no reason to break my promise.

I returned to Jessica’s house, and then Jessica and I found a video to watch. This time we watched a documentary about an expedition to Africa. Of course, this kind of documentary has nothing to do with what Jessica’s parents left behind.

Her kind of documentaries are two completely different things. In this kind of documentary, there won't be so many thrills or unknown situations, but you can also learn a lot of things that you can't usually learn.

.

I put my arm around Jessica's shoulders, and Jessica rested the side of her head on my shoulder.

"Jessica, you know, sometimes I really think it would be great to be an explorer. I can travel freely around the world and explore all kinds of interesting things in nature. You said that your parents became

Is it because of your family’s influence when you become an explorer or because they like it in the first place?”

"You should still be greatly affected. Don't you think you have also become very interested in exploration under my influence?"

"I think it's different. Maybe my nature is to have a great interest in exploration, but after being with you, I was influenced by you, which liberated my nature. Anyway, in any case,

You are very crucial at this point."

"Actually, becoming an explorer is easy to say, but it is quite difficult to actually do it. I found another booklet when I was cleaning up my parents' room this morning. This booklet was ignored by me before.

Well, I think you might also be interested in knowing the content."

"Does this booklet record your parents' various experiences and experiences during their adventures?"

"That's more or less it. Anyway, it's just some experiences and lessons my parents have summed up from the expedition. The notes they left behind mostly record the various situations they encountered during the expedition.

But there are very few things like this booklet that record their own analysis and summary after the expedition. I think these things should be helpful to us."

When Jessica took out the yellowed booklet, I was a little embarrassed, because the words written by his parents in the booklet were quite small, so if you want to read them with the naked eye,

It seems to be really difficult.

I immediately thought of a solution, which was to put this booklet into a projector and play it out. The quality of the projector at Jessica's house is actually quite good. We used it before

It had looked at some photos of Jessica's family, and now it was used to look at this booklet.

By zooming in, the words that were originally as small as millet grains could finally be seen clearly. We flipped through the booklet page by page, trying to see clearly what was written on it. After reading it clearly, I found

These texts are basically written in English, and only a small part of them are written in the languages ​​​​of other countries. I can’t understand those languages ​​​​of other countries. Most of them are not Latin languages ​​anyway, even Jesse

Ka also doesn’t know most languages.

Of course, we can temporarily ignore those languages ​​​​that we do not know, and then focus all our attention on the words written in English. However, these words written in English seem to use a lot of words.

Slang and allusions, for me who don’t particularly understand these slangs and allusions, it is still quite difficult to fully interpret them.

Fortunately, Jessica is by my side. After all, the people who wrote these words are her parents. Maybe she can understand the deeper meanings of these slangs and allusions.

"Jessica, look at these words to see if there is anything that can help us. I don't quite understand the slang and allusions here, and I can't fully understand their meaning."

"Indeed, although this booklet looks small, it is actually a sparrow that is small but has all the internal organs. The contents recorded in it are the essence of my parents' decades of adventure experience, so it is normal that you can't understand it.

, and a large part of it is something I don’t know. Perhaps to fully interpret this booklet, we need some notes left by my parents as a reference, because the things mentioned in this booklet

Some places and contents were recorded in another notebook."

"So if we can't find the notebook left by your parents, will it be difficult for us to decipher the contents of this booklet?"

"Well, although it is true to say so, we actually do not need to fully interpret the contents of this booklet. To know the things recorded in this booklet, we only need to know a very small part, and we can already

It will be of great help to us in what we are going to face next.”

"I hope it's really what you said. Let's interpret it page by page."

"This first page is actually a summary of what my father has experienced in his half of his life. In it, he focused on five places that had a very significant impact on his life, and these five places

The places are located on five continents. He also mentioned that he left some marks on these five places. If someone needs to find these five places in the future, they can follow the records left in this book to find them.

."

"Which are these five places?"

"My father did not write down the specific names of these five places at the beginning, but it is conceivable that these five places should appear in the content at the back of this booklet. Maybe we can also follow the instructions in this booklet in the future.

Look for the records in these five places."

"Well, then what else did he say in his life summary?"

"He said, in fact, our family has been inheriting this kind of exploration for hundreds of years. At the beginning, our ancestors were immigrants from the European continent, and the first batch of them seemed to have arrived in the early seventeenth century.

, at that time, a large part of the American continent was still under the occupation of Indians, and then there was a massacre of these Indians by European colonists."

"It was indeed a hard-to-look-back past, but it was not your ancestors' fault."

"Of course it's not my ancestors' fault. My ancestors actually desperately opposed the European colonists' massacre of Indians. However, their power was still too weak in the face of the powerful government forces. At that time, they tried their best to help

Those Indians, but in fact what caused the greatest harm to the Indians was not the colonial invaders themselves, but the terrible diseases indirectly transmitted from these colonists."

"Yes, many terrible viruses from the European Middle Ages followed these colonists to the American continent, which had never been developed by modern society. The local residents had no resistance to these terrible deadly viruses.

Therefore, the small number of European colonists at that time was able to drive out the large Indian population."

"In fact, they did not kill them all, but most of the Indians lost the courage to live after their ancestral lands were invaded. Many of them believed in reincarnation, just like the Incas in South America and the Indians in North America.

Like the Aztecs, they created a glorious rainforest civilization many centuries ago, built majestic pyramids, and communicated with the gods they believed in through a large number of animal and human sacrifices."

"I think their kind of sacrifice is really a bit scary. It is said that the largest scale of human sacrifice would even sacrifice thousands of living people at one time. You must know that their productivity level and the city's size at that time

In terms of scale, their country may only have dozens or millions of people in total, and such sacrifices must be carried out every once in a while, which is really quite terrifying."

"So we humans are the most cruel creatures in the world. Especially when we treat our own kind, we can always express the most terrifying side of our hearts to the fullest. Think about the history of civilizations around the world.

, we humans have invented and created so many extremely cruel torture instruments in order to inflict more pain on the same kind of people. To be honest, some of the torture instruments are just like FAM humans."

"Hey, I think we humans actually have a certain tendency to self-destruct. Whether we are treating the same kind of people or ourselves, this kind of self-destructive tendency actually exists. Once the environment is suitable, this kind of self-destructive tendency will exist subconsciously.

Horrible tendencies will emerge, causing great harm to ourselves and others around us."

"Perhaps war is the most extreme manifestation of our human self-destructive tendencies. When ordinary violence gradually escalates from an individual to a small group, and then slowly escalates to the level of a country, or even many, many countries

level, and in the end even all mankind will be involved in it, this is a world war."

"Perhaps at some point in the future, we humans will once again fall into some kind of war sweeping the world. In such a state, everyone will appear extremely small, and the fate of an individual will depend on the entire human race.

It seems so pale and helpless in front of my destiny."

Jessica and I had been chatting for a long time without knowing it. It was soon going to be twelve o'clock. The owner of the dark restaurant called and asked Jessica and me to go to his restaurant.

During the meal, in order to thank me for agreeing to participate in the three-on-three basketball game with him, he prepared to cook two brand-new dishes for us.

When I saw Jessica's gleaming eyes, I readily agreed. In fact, Jessica and I did eat a lot of dishes that surprised us in that dark restaurant last night. Come to think of it.

It would be quite nice to be able to eat the new dark dishes cooked by the owner of this restaurant himself.

Jessica and I simply tidied up the house and then went out. It would have taken about half an hour to drive from Jessica's house to the dark restaurant. If there was a traffic jam on the road, it would have been even longer.

It took longer.

However, the owner of this dark restaurant told us a relatively shortcut. By taking this shortcut, we saved about a quarter of an hour, and there were almost no traffic jams on the road. This is really rare in Los Angeles.

It's quite a difficult thing.

It was already past twelve o'clock when Jessica and I arrived at this dark restaurant. Soon we entered the high-end private room specially prepared for us by the owner. To be honest, this dark restaurant

There are not many private rooms in it. In fact, compared to other famous restaurants in Los Angeles, the entire restaurant is not large in size.

At this time, there were five or six kinds of dark dishes cooked by the boss himself on the table. He also sat down to eat with us. In the next half hour, we chatted all over the place about this dark restaurant.

The owner of the restaurant is also a well-informed person. He has interacted with many foreigners, so he has a good understanding of various cuisines and customs from all over the world.

Therefore, the topics of our chat are not limited to the United States. We can say that we talk about everything, especially some famous cultural and historical scenic spots in other countries, which are the focus of our discussion.

I found that the owner of this dark restaurant was very familiar with the Egyptian pyramids, as if he had personally visited the pyramids.

However, the boss told us that he had not personally visited the interior of the pyramid, but he had contacted some researchers who had just returned from Egyptian archeology. They had just returned to the United States at the time, and it seemed that their trip to Egypt had inspired them.

I have benefited a lot. Not only did I find some very precious cultural relics, but I also discovered some eternal secrets about the ancient Egyptian pyramids.

When we said this, Jessica and I both looked extremely curious, wanting to know what the boss had learned about the eternal secrets of the ancient Egyptian pyramids from these returning archaeologists.

"You all know that the pyramids were tombs built for the Pharaohs. Because the ancient Egyptians believed that after death, people could enter another world through the pyramids to gain eternal life, so they made the bodies of people after death into

Mummies, thinking that this will keep their souls immortal."

"Yes, the civilization of ancient Egypt is quite ancient. The earliest ancient Egyptian civilization was born around 7,500 years ago. This is probably the earliest known ancient civilization. It is better than the other three ancient civilizations: Greece, India, and China.

It was thousands of years earlier, and the various calendars and architectural technologies possessed by ancient Egypt were extremely ahead of the world at that time."

"Yes, those archaeologists discovered some things from the ancient times in one of the pyramids in the Valley of the Kings. These things from the ancient times do not belong to that era. Among them, there is something that is said to be foreign.

Starship stuff."

"An alien spaceship? There is a saying that aliens were involved in the construction of the entire pyramid. You must know that other places in the world were still in an extremely barbaric period, but ancient Egypt had far beyond

Many of the astronomical, architectural, mathematical, and medical achievements of the era have to be doubted."

"They seem to have found conclusive evidence to prove that there is some direct connection between these ancient Egyptians and aliens, but it is a pity that they cannot tell me all these things, because many things are unknown.

It involves state secrets."

"Are all national secrets involved? What is the identity of their expedition team?"

"I don't know, they don't look very old, but two of them have maturity far beyond their apparent age. It's like a young man who is only 20 years old but has the expression of a 40-year-old.

Same, in short it gives people a weird feeling, but that's okay

It's quite interesting. They are quite picky. They seem to be only used to eating food from Egypt and Greece. When I was cooking for them, they made all kinds of weird requests. They didn't even look like modern people.

They know how to order the same dishes, they are the real lovers of dark cuisine!"

"Are you saying that the dishes they ordered don't look like what modern people might order? Then are their behaviors also very strange? Are they a bit unlike people of our time? Maybe they are.

There is a possibility that they are a group of people who came through time and space."

As soon as I finished speaking, I felt that I shouldn't tell this boss. Although I can chat with the boss of the dark cuisine, there are some things that it is better not to let him know, so as not to involve him in these things.

, it won’t do him any good at all.

"Do you think they might be people from another time and space? Don't say it, but that's how they felt to me. Later, I learned from them many, many places they had visited. In fact,

Their footprints are all over the world, but I think they all appear to be less than 30 years old. If they really want to go there according to what they say,

If they were exploring so many places, it would be impossible for them to be that old at this time. Some experts and professors I know who have been engaged in archaeological exploration for decades have never been to so many places. The most important point is that,

Some of the places they mentioned are forbidden areas for humans, and it is simply impossible for ordinary people to choose those places for exploration."

"Okay, but these are just our guesses. There is no actual evidence. Besides, it is impossible for people to travel through time and space in this world, so they must be bragging. All young people today are like this.

It seems that in order to show how powerful he is, he will exaggerate what he has experienced so that he can gain some sense of accomplishment in front of others."

"I think things may not be that simple, because their speech, behavior and words are not what ordinary people can express. I have always been very accurate in judging people, and in fact I do know some truths.

A person who can travel through time and space. We have a person in Los Angeles who has such an ability, but he no longer knows where he is going."

"Is there anyone in Los Angeles who has such an ability? Are you kidding me?"

"Although I sometimes like to joke with others, I won't talk nonsense about things like this. I wonder if you know about Sir Faustin. He once built a quite huge manor in Los Angeles.

, and many bizarre things happened around this manor."

Hearing this, Jessica and I couldn't help but look at each other. We both saw something in each other's eyes. Unexpectedly, the owner of this dark restaurant also knew about Sir Faustin. It seems that we met him today.

He's quite a powerful person.

"I have heard something about Sir Faustin, but what does he have to do with traveling through time and space?"

"You may not know that Sir Faustin is a person who can travel through time and space. I first learned about him from other people's mouths. The legend about him has actually been circulated in Los Angeles, especially among many elderly people.

When they were young, their families would tell them some legends about Sir Faustin's manor. Many times, in order to scare the children, adults would even say that they would be thrown into Sir Faustin's manor to feed monsters.

"

"Is there such a thing? It seems that Sir Faustin is really not a simple character, but such a guy is only a legend after all. There doesn't seem to be much evidence to prove that he is a person who can travel through time.

People of time and space."

"You may not know that we have a Los Angeles History Museum in Los Angeles, where complete information about Sir Faustin and his estate is stored. I have read all this information before, but then I heard that the Los Angeles History Museum

There was a theft from the museum and most of the information about Sir Faustin's estate was lost."

Hearing this, Jessica and I couldn't help but take a breath. We didn't expect that the information about Sir Faustin that we couldn't read was actually read by the owner of this dark restaurant. This is really

This is something we didn’t expect!
